What programs are available to help off-set or minimize the amount of money needed to install a solar system?
There are three main programs that help off-set the cost of going solar. First, there is a rebate from the utility. Second, there is a tax credit from the federal government. And third, there is a state tax credit. The rebate for the utility APS is $3.00/ DC watt up to 25,000 watts and the rebate for utility SRP is $2.70/DC watt up to 5000 watts. The federal tax credit is for 30% of the out-of-pocket cost of the system. The state tax credit is $1000 bucks.
